Reaction Steps

3-[(4-Amino-5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-5-[4-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one (3 g, 7.5 mmol) and pyridine (0.68 ml, 8.41 mmol) were dissolved in THF (35 ml) under N2 and cooled to 0° C. Bromoacetyl bromide (0.72 ml, 8.26 mmol) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture stirred for 18 h at 24° C. before being partitioned between ethyl acetate (400 ml) and 0.1N HCl solution (50 ml). The organic phase was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution and brine, and dried over MgSO4. Active carbon (500 mg) was added and the solution filtered through a plug of Celite. Concentration gave 3.8 g (98%); mp 140-182° C.
